Kate is doing great, Libreoffice not so much

Name of a program and the open file should be separated by an emdash, not a hyphen. For some reason, Kate does this correctly, LibreOffice Writer does it incorrectly (see attachment). I am using Locally Integrated Menu (LIM) from here: https://github.com/Zren/material-decoration
I hope I am filling this correctly and this is not a LibreOffice issue or LIM issue.

Hyphen is this: -
Em-dash is this: —

For the correct usage, see here: https://practicaltypography.com/hyphens-and-dashes.html

That's the application's job. It's just that Qt does that (curiously, only on X11): https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/xcb/qxcbwindow.cpp.html#2586

(Correction: It does on Wayland, too)

I suggest you report that to LibreOffice.

Thanks for the swift response, reported to LibreOffice: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146638

(though I think Qt5 does a sensible thing here)
